...the mark still remains"
- Mama Said (Metallica)

I love this song. I know I'm not supposed to as a Metallica fanboy, but I do anyway. I think it's pretty obvious why, given my own issues with my mum.

She's been visiting the past couple of days. Kid wanted to see Grandma and Grandpa, so she's staying at the flat even though they both live in my aunt's old place these days. No room anywhere else.

Being around Mum is hard enough when I'm home. When my two lives, if you will, collide, then it's like a soft version of Hades. If it wasn't for the fact that she goes back today, I'd almost be considering crack.

My random blog yesterday was typed on her iPhone while I was coming home.

It's not my fault bad things are so fun.
